Fungal biofilms in indoor environments contributes significantly with bioaerosol which negatively affect human health and biodeteriorate the materials where growth. Antimicrobial agents applied to surface treatments or coatings formulations to control hygienic in indoor environments results in an important goal, actually. Some nanomaterials have proved to be bioactive and present a broad field of applications such as coatings additives. Their synthesis by environment friendly process is preferred to avoid the use of toxic chemicals and minimize waste products. In this sense, the green synthesis aims the use of natural products as aqueous plant extracts to obtain metal nanoparticles.
